Stories My Father Never Finished Telling Me

Living with the Armenian Legacy of Loss and Silence

By: Douglas Kalajian

Stories My Father Never Finished Telling Me recounts author Douglas Kalajian's lifelong attempts to overcome his father's reluctance to speak about his life as a survivor of the Armenian Genocide. In piecing together the scattered bits his father reluctantly shared, Kalajian reflects on how his father's silence affected his own life and his identity as an American of Armenian descent. Kalajian is a retired journalist who worked as an editor and writer for the Palm Beach Post and the Miami Herald. He is author of the nonfiction book Snow Blind and co-author of They Had No Voice: My Fight For Alabama's Forgotten Children.

They Had No Voice

My Fight for Alabama's Forgotten Children

By: Denny Abbott,Douglas Kalajian

Denny Abbott first encountered the Alabama Industrial School for Negro Children at Mt. Meigs as a twenty-one-year-old probation officer for the Montgomery County Family Court. He would become so concerned about conditions for black juvenile offenders there--including hard labor, beatings, and rape--that he took the State of Alabama to court to win reforms. With the help of the U.S. Justice Department, Abbott won a resounding victory that brought change, although three years later he had to sue the state again. In They Had No Voice, Abbott details these battles and how his actions cost him his job and made him a pariah in his hometown, but resulted in better lives for Alabama's children. Abbott also tells of his later career as the first national director of the Adam Walsh Child Resource Center, where he helped focus attention on missing and exploited children and became widely recognized as an expert on children's issues.

Snow Blind

By: Douglas Kalajian

The defender had become a defendant, facing a long prison term. He came as close to utter ruin as any human can. So did his wife. This is also her story, and the story of many others like her. [This book] follows them through an over-whelming challenge to their lives and marriage. It isn't just about recovery from addiction; it's about the recovery of the human spirit. The proof of Howard's redemption would lie in what he could do for others. As long as he held on to that purpose, he had nothing to fear from cocaine - and as [this book] shows, Howard was determined to hold on with all his might"--Page 4 of cover
